The 

France -America Society 

I NCORPORATED 

HE France-America Society was incorpor- 
ated under the Membership Corporation 
L,aw of the State of New York, in October, 
1912, first under the name of the France- 
America Committee, this being subsequent- 
ly altered by due legal process to its present 
title. The Directors considered it politic to make the change 
m view of the fact that by 1916 the membership of the or- 
ganization had attained such a growth that the word com- 
mittee as used in English, had ceased to be a fitting designa- 
tion. 

The purpose of the Society is to foster the intimacy of the 
long-standing friendship between France and the United 
States, and to develop the relations between the two na- 
tions in all their social, political, artistic, commercial, indus- 
trial and intellectual interests. 

With this object in view the Society devotes itself, in addi- 
tion to its other activities, to the agreeable task of welcom- 
ing to the United States Frenchmen of distinction, who visit 




[three] 



FRANCE-AMERICA SOCIETY, INC. 



America, and of bringing them into personal relations with 
those Americans who can best further their mission in this 
country, and who are in hearty sympathy with France. 

In Paris, our parent society, the Comite France Amerique, 
founded and presided over by M. Gabriel Hanotaux, of the 
French Academy and for many years Minister of Foreign 
Affairs, performs similar services for eminent Americans 
who visit France, and the members of our Society are al- 
ways welcomed there with the greatest regard and hospital- 
ity. Associated with President Hanotaux in the Comite 
France Amerique in Paris are some of the leading men in 
the public life of France. 

In 1913 the Comite France Amerique despatched a special 
mission headed by its president to the United States, to take 
part in the tercentenary celebration of the birth of Cham- 
plain. It included among its members, M. Louis Barthou, 
former Premier and more recently Minister of Foreign Af- 
fairs, General Lebon, M. Rene Bazin and M. Etienne Lamy, 
both of the French Academy, Senator the Baron d'Etour- 
nelles de Constant, the Comte de Rochambeau, the Vicomte 
de Chambrun, etc., who brought with them, as a gift to the 
United States, Rodin's beautiful bust representing La 
France.

E R A N C E-A M E R I C A SOCIETY, INC. 



Our Society assumed charge of their reception and was 
able to arrange for their welcome in this country with be- 
coming honor. 

Since then it has fallen to the lot of the France- America 
Society to extend hospitality to a number of distinguished 
French visitors — statesmen, diplomats, generals, academi- 
cians, captains of finance and of industry, world famed 
composers, such as the venerable Saint Saens, while each 
year on the sixth of September the Society gives a banquet 
in celebration of the anniversary of the birth of Lafayette 
and of the great battle of the Marne, which banquets have 
been honored by the presence of the Ambassadors of France 
and of Great Britain, of the diplomatic representatives of 
the other Powers of the Entente, the Mayor of New York 
and by high dignitaries of the Federal, State and Municipal 
governments. 

On the occasion of the last L,afayette-Marne dinner on the 
sixth of September, 1917, the following cable messages were 
received from the President of the French Republic, Pre- 
mier Ribot, Marshal Joffre and from M. Gabriel Hanotaux. 

From President Poincare: 

Pray assure to the France-America Society that I fully 
sympathize with the touching thought which associates the souvenir 
of Lafayette with that of the Marne. The blood shed in common by 



[ EIVE] 



FRANC E-A MERICA SOCIETY, INC. 



us, brothers in arms now as of old, will render indissoluble the tie 
uniting two nations who are not only allies but sisters. 

Poincare 

From Marechal Joffre : 

Kindly convey to the France- America Society my felicita- 
tions for its ardently patriotic work and propaganda, and my grati- 
tude for the homage which it has addressed to the soldiers of the 
Marne. We are certain that with the powerful co-operation of the 
United States we shall overwhelm our common enemy in a final and 
conclusive victory. j JoEFRE 



From M. Alexandre Ribot, Prime Minister of France: 

Am profoundly touched by the sentiments which you have 
expressed in the name of the France-America Society on the occa- 
sion of the anniversary of the birth of Lafayette, and of the battle 
of the Marne. I beg of you to receive my most cordial thanks, and 
the expression of the profound attachment of my country for your 
great democracy which gives to the entire world an example of one 
of the most lofty moral conscience in all history in associating itself 
in the sacred defence of right and of liberty. 

Alexandre Ribot 



From M. Gabriel Hanotaux, of the French Academy: 

Pray express to Ambassador Jusserand and to all your 
guests the loyal sentiments of your old friends in France, on the 
occasion of this double anniversary. The intervention of America 
in the war gives a new face to the history of the world worthy of 
this great nation, the magnificent champion of civilization and of 
liberty. 

Hanotaux 

Through the generosity of A. Barton Hepburn, a former 
President and still a Director of the France-America So- 
ciety, a suitable house at 411 West 117th Street was deeded

to Columbia University as a centre of French influence, and 
as a permanent home for the administrative officers of this 
Society. There a library is being collected, and there in- 
formation may be had with reference to all French matters 
that may interest Americans. There also hospitality is 
offered to the distinguished Frenchmen who visit us, who 
are thus made to feel that they are no longer strangers 
among us. The Assistant Secretary is in attendance at 
stated hours and members of the Society are always wel- 
come.
